Quiz Time!

Hello Friends! I don't get asked alot of questions about my writing or process so I thought it would be fun to see how you guys think I do it while I work on the next chapters of Alpha Drew and Alpha Bucky!

Question #1

And the correct answer is!! SONGS! Congrats to whoever voted for that one! Here are the songs and the parts of it that really stuck out to me (as you can see, i have several works coming soon that i am already getting info for):

Hold You Up - Marcel Barthel x Kiya Bryant x Fabian Aichner

Hold You Up – Shane Harper

“The world is so broken and sometimes it leaves you cold. And at times you can't feel the fire to guide you home. The demons will haunt you and try to steal what you know. But the angels, they brought you, and they're gonna hold you up.”

Heartbeat - Ethan Carter III x Adalynn Strowman

Heartbeat – Carrie Underwood

“I wanna feel it like a kick drum, beatin' faster in your chest. I wanna feel you holding onto me and make me hold my breath. You pull me closer, my head on your shoulder Baby, we won't need a song. We'll make a fallen star wish, one more slow kiss. What are we waiting on?”

Yours - Dominik Dijakovic x Skye Simmons

Yours – Russell Dickerson

“I was one in a hundred billion A burned out star in a galaxy. Just lost in the sky, wonderin' why, Everyone else shines out but me. But. I came to life when I first kissed you, The best me has his arms around you. You make me better than I was before, Thank God I'm yours.”

The Day Before You - Ridge Holland x Lyssa Hutchinson

The Day Before You – Rascal Flatts

“I was ready to settle for less than love And not much more. There was no such thing as a dream come true. But that was on the day before you. Now you're here and everything's changing. Suddenly life means so much, I can't wait to wake up tomorrow And find out this promise is true. I will never have to go back To the day before you.”

Long Time Coming - Bucky Barnes x Carina Rivera

Long Time Coming – Oliver James

“It's been a long time coming down this road, And now I know. What I've been waiting for. And like a lonely highway I'm trying to get home, Oh. Loves been a long time coming.”

From The Ground Up - Drew McIntire x Cassidy Riley

From the Ground Up – Dan + Shay

“And we'll build this love from the ground up. Now 'til forever it's all of me, all of you, Just take my hand. And I'll be the man your dad hoped that I'd be. And we'll build this love from the ground up. For worse or for better And I will be all you need, Beside you I'll stand through the good and the bad We'll give all that we have And we'll build this love from the ground up.”

Finally Home - Ari Levinson x Brianna Collier

Finally Home – Kerrie Roberts

“And there's no more road Nowhere else to go, Nothing left to miss, Nothing left for this wandering soul When I'm finally home. The ultimate healing, Where hurt can't reach me. I won't need to find every answer, All I need will be found within Your presence.”

Rescue Me - Marcel Barthel x Sofia (Reese) x Fabian Aichner

Rescue Me - Chris Young

“What's a happy ending if I can't get the girl? What's it matter if I save the world?”

Cross Every Line - Marcel Barthel x Alina Lawson x Fabian Aichner

Cross Every Line – Chris Young

“If you were captured, baby, I would be relentless. I'd declare it war and run right out them trenches. Yeah, you'd hear my battle cry I'd let the bullets fly Wouldn't be an enemy let behind the enemy line I'd cross every line in the world for you I'd cross every line in the world for you Nowhere I wouldn't go, nothin' I wouldn't do I'd cross every line in the world for you.”

What If - Julius Creed x Unnamed

What If – Kane Brown w/ Lauren Alaina

“What if I was made for you And you were made for me. What if this is it? What if it's meant to be? What if I ain't one of them fools just Playin' some game. What if I just pulled you close? What if I leaned in? And the stars line up and it's our last first kiss. What if one of these days baby I'd go and change your name. What if I loved all these what ifs away?”

gripping you pleease show the wof 9 thing eventually <- wof dragons enthusiast and likes seeing your little clothguys

Okay so spoilers for 9 obviously and sort of for wings of fire as well, this is going to be real stream of consciousness so bear with me but ough. lizords.

The au is set about two thousand years after the end of wof arc three, and despite what was implied Jerboa III's spell has led to no new animus dragons being born. As it stands though this has been largely inconsequential. Humans and dragons now (mostly) view each other as equals, and live in mixed communities working together. It's a period of growth for both species.

One human (Julius) becomes fascinated by the advancements that were achieved in the era of animus dragons, and sets out to see if it's possible to bring the magic back. Through a combination of genetic engineering and more occult methods, a new artificial animus is brought into the world, and its potential is immediately obvious. This potential is unfortunately recognized by the wrong people, and the newborn Being is separated from its creator. At the same time the new lifeform was being developed, one of the continent's many conflicts had begun boiling over into full-blown war, and the Being is quickly viewed as a weapon. The predictable mistreatment leads to it growing a hatred for both humans and dragons, and also rapidly increases its size. It doesn't take long for it to turn against its captors, and a war that was originally bureaucratic in origin is now for survival against an onslaught of war machines.Casualties are very high, and while many dragons and humans are able to escape south to Pantala or in some cases the Sea kingdom, many more are lost in the chaos. Julius, who feels responsible for the ongoing carnage, manages to obtain the help of nine dragons who for varying reasons are willing to try anything that could help. They offer up their bodies as conduits for the next step, while Julius places a piece of his own consciousness into each.

From this point the plot is much the same as the movie, with 9 awakening some time later than the others and discovering the talisman. He is found by 2, both are attacked by the (much larger) Cat Beast, and 2 is taken along with the talisman. An injured 9 is carried to the sheltered ruin of Sanctuary* by 5, meeting 1 and 8 and learning more about the reasons for the devastation around them. 9, unwilling to give up on 2, convinces 5 to join him in attempting a rescue, and they fly in the direction 9 saw the Beast take him. Arriving at the derelict Factory built into a mountain, they both reunite with 2 before the Cat Beast attacks them. Cornered by the Beast the trio are suddenly joined by 7, who kills the Cat. While the other three are reconnecting, 9’s curiosity gets the better of him, and he accidentally reawakens the dormant Being. Sensing remnants of its creator, it strips 2's soul from his body, and the other three flee before it can do the same to them. 7 leads 5 and 9 to the Library where the twins 3 and 4 meet them. Here they learn more about the destruction around them, and when 9 and 5 prepare to head back to Sanctuary 7 refuses to join them, while the Twins remain at the library to research.

After they return and are chastised by 1, 9 meets 6, who proves to have knowledge on the talisman and the group’s “Source”. 9 confronts 1 on his cowardice, but their argument is interrupted when the massive Winged Beast attacks. In the chaos the fragile ruins begin to collapse and burn, and it’s a struggle to escape both the monster and the failing walls. The beast is killed, but not before wounding 7 and destroying Sanctuary. The group all retreat to the Library, where 3 and 4 reveal what they’ve discovered, and 1 blurts out that she did in fact send 2 out to scout in the hopes that he would be killed. An enraged 7 attacks 1, but retreats in anguish when 9 intervenes. At the same time this is happening, 8, who had been sent out to keep watch for further monsters (and took the opportunity to smoke) is attacked and paralyzed by the newest horror, the Seamstress, with 2’s body fused to its tail. A frustrated 1 who had walked off alone is also attacked and envenomated, his yell alerting the others. 7 rejoins the ensuing fight, 1 is freed from her bindings, and 2’s body is cut loose from the creature. Despite both 5 and 9 managing to wound it, the Seamstress takes off with 8 and 7. Distressingly, before 9 convinces the others to mount a rescue, it is found that 2’s body still has a heartbeat.

After destroying several Seekers and making it to the now-active Factory, 9 heads in alone while 1, the twins, 5 and 6 look for a way to destroy the building and the Being inside. While inside 9 is forced to watch as 8’s soul is removed, before he tricks and kills the Seamstress, and escapes with 7 as the Being notices them. 5 and the others, having rigged explosives upon the Factory’s dam, begin igniting them as soon as they see the two fleeing, destroying the fortress in a wall of water. Rejoicing at finally defeating the threat, the group takes a breather at a bend in the river. 5, while washing his hands on the bank, sees that the Being is still alive and heading for them. He manages to alert the others before he is caught and claimed in front of the other six. In their race to gain altitude and escape, 6 sees that 5 is still breathing, realizing that their souls are being taken but not destroyed. As he is attempting to make this known, he is also taken. A distraught 9 tries to convince the remaining four to join him in looking for a way to save the others, but ends up heading out on his own.

Returning to the “first room” where he awoke, 9 finds the remains of Julius, notes on theirs and the Being’s creation, and a message for him specifically from both Julius and the dragon who gave up their body for him, Noonday. In a hidden room he also discovers a huge cache of eggs, over a hundred, all in stasis. With these revelations 9 races to the others, finding them trying and failing to kill the Being. As it draws closer and the group retreats to a sheltered tunnel, 9 makes the decision to sacrifice himself so the others may have a chance to survive and remove the talisman. Before he can do that though they are attacked and driven from the hideaway by the now-injured Being’s fury. Leftover ordinances explode around them, and they are separated and injured as the Being bears down on them. 9 prepares to give up his soul, but before he can, 1 takes his place and is claimed. With only moments to spare 9 removes the talisman, and the Being is killed. 7 and the twins rush to an unconscious 9's side, and when he comes to they embrace him. They then retrieve the bodies of 1, 6, 5, 8, and 2, in the hopes of reviving them, though 9 admits it may just as likely be for burial. All five are still breathing, though they also all have injuries, some serious. Using the talisman, 9 reintegrates each one's soul into their body in a bright flash of green, and they reawaken. After an emotional reunion and tending to the most major injuries, 9 and the others incinerate the body of the Being, its cremation releasing its contained energy and revitalizing the damaged landscape (and inadvertently bringing animus magic back into the world).

Oh god i wrote too much lmao ANYWAYS from there it's all about healing and starting anew and maybe falling in love along the way. One for-sure project of theirs is reaching out to the survivors they know must exist (and dealing with a steadily growing gaggle of dragonets in the process). Everything after the main story is entirely self-indulgent, but I think since many other 9 enjoyers wished for a happier ending at least a little bit it’ll be enjoyable for people other than me lol. Will post my designs for the gang tomorrow, and also my interpretations of the two continents since those maps have always made the geology nerd in me mad lol (though i don't have solid designs for fabby or the beasts yet mostly just cause i want to make sure they're distinct from @astrogriffin 's awesome takes)

* different from Winter’s Sanctuary

#thank you for indulging in my tism #9 #wof #have no idea how much actual stuff ill make for this im mostly just rotating it rn #some screencap redraws could be a lot of fun to try tho #wo9 #shane acker's 9 #wings of fire

Disco Godfather (1979)

Disco Godfather is the most competent of Rudy Ray Moore’s 1970s films. For anyone else, that would be a selling point. For an actor of dubious talent whose fans mostly like him because his movies are accidentally funny, it's a warning. While this action film has some chuckle-worthy scenes and a few pleasant surprises, it’s overwhelmingly dull.

When Bucky (Julius J. Carry III) gets wacked out on angel dust and hospitalized, his uncle Tucker Williams (Rudy Ray Moore), a retired police detective turned rapper/disco club owner, decides to take down the drug dealers who got his nephew hooked. After repeated, failed attempts to make his way up the chain to the boss behind it all, Williams suspects someone in the department can’t be trusted.

Even before the film begins, there are dark clouds ahead. Did that screen just say "Rated PG"?. Yes, this film was made before the creation of the PG-13 rating but all of Moore’s other films had a lot of cursing and sleazy nudity. You might even say it was a selling point. Of course he isn’t actually playing Dolemite or Petey Wheatstraw (same character, really) but you expect someone called "The Disco Godfather" to be juggling a half-dozen women at least. When you realize he isn't, you brace yourself for the worst.

Moore’s other trademarks are all here. There are plenty of "martial arts" action scenes, each less convincing than the last. The punches and kicks are so slow it couldn’t be more obvious that none of them connect. Even if they did, none would cause anyone any kind of injury. As before, you already have a hard time believing Moore’s character would take down any opponent but director J. Robert Wagoner could’ve tried a little harder!

As for the performances, this is where the movie gets more enjoyable (for the wrong reasons). Take a drink every time you think "this person has to be the worst actor in this movie" and you’ll be dead from alcohol poisoning an hour in. There isn’t a convincing line delivery anywhere, and the wooden reactions are made even worse by the horrendous screenplay. At one point, two thugs attack Tucker in his office. He narrowly fends them off and they run away. From the same corridor comes his secretary, acting as if two bruised and bloodied assassinsrunning past her is the most normal thing she’s seen all day. And of course, Tucker doesn’t call the police or report this. I know what you’re thinking, "It’s because he knows there’s a rat in the precinct" but does he think it’s his former best friend Lt. Frank Hayes (Frank Finn)? How could he when the culprit is the most shifty-eyed, forehead-drenched-with-sweat, crooked-cop-if-I’ve-ever-seen-one ever?

Fans of failed cinema will also enjoy the scenes in which Disco Godfather turns into a wannabe Reefer Madness. While PCP isn’t as "harmless" as marijuana, the recovering addicts are so over-the-top you can’t stop yourself from laughing. The testimonies from the worried parents and former addicts preaching to the at-risk youths can’t be taken seriously. The slogan "Attack the Whack" is too goofy to be effective. It takes all of your willpower not to yell "Wiggedy whack!" whenever someone says something or someone is "whack". You might just explode when you hear it accidentally switched to "Whack the Attack". Then, there’s a so-called testimony from a former victim of angel dust and her speech… is NOTHING! It’s treated as an emotional reflection of a difficult life but it sounds like a placeholder that was meant to be swapped out!

The last enjoyable element of the picture are the psychedellic scenes. The special effects range from bad… to really bad. Some of the drug-induced demons we see make the orcs in Ralph Bakshi’s "The Lord of the Rings" look like the ones in Peter Jackson’s films. It comes out of a nowhere so profound and so surprising your face will be stuck in a permanent confused look.

All of this makes Disco Godfather sound like fun if you like bad movies. It would be if all of the boring bits were edited out and only the wackiest scenes remained. Unfortunately, there is indeed a plot and it's so generic it might as well be the first template you get from a free screenwriting software. The characters are so flat, the overall product so predictable and lackluster that you’ll be bored for about 75% of the running time. You’ll remember Moore’s saying "Put your weight on it!" (I still don’t know what that actually means) but little else about Disco Godfather. (June 25, 2021)
